Cloud Functions is an event-driven serverless computing platform. It is one of the simplest ways to run your code in the cloud, bringing great benefits to your company.
The functions provide automatic scheduling, being available at all times and super tolerant to failures that may occur.
It is a system that ends up dispensing with patching, server updates, management and even provisioning. You will only pay when the code is running on the platform.
Other advantages of Cloud Functions are the connectivity and expansion of cloud services, the back ends of serverless applications, mobile devices, IoT and integration with third party services or APIs.
With regard to data processing, it is done in real time, both from files, streams and extraction, transformation and loading (ETL) oriented to events.
Its applications rely on intelligent technologies, equipped with virtual assistants, chatbots, sentiment analysis, video, image and much more.
